Make Every Word Tell

The Blink Protocol is a standardized method for defining how to
exchange messages in and between systems. Blink makes it
easy for people to define what information to exchange and how.
It also eliminates friction in the communications machinery.

The philosophy of Blink is that efficient communication follows
from making every word tell.

Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary
words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that
a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary
parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short,
or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline,
but that every word tell.

Blink was designed by
Pantor Engineering AB
for internal and client use, and we decided to make it publicly
available. The design and specifications are in a beta phase, and
are improving thanks to feedback from people inside and outside the
financial markets community.
